We will not beat a team of either quality though if we line up at 1st and goal on the 8 yard line and throw 3 dumb, low % passes into the end zone though. We have to get crisper in that area.

The best thing about this Ravens team is that we've managed to accomplish what we have with basically no contributions from 4 injured starters.

I agree w/ you here Luke. I would say we match up w/ GB better then most other teams in the AFC because of the quality of our secondary. However, I think its imperative we get home field advantage in the playoffs.

All injuries to the those 4 you mentioned (Smith, Grubbs, Evans & Carr) don't really seem to be slowing us up to much.

Re: shut up guys..

I will put it to you like this: Every time I take that sort of dominant attitude about the Ravens, they either lose or play a game that is much closer than most expect. Now, after learning my lessons, I humbly enjoy the game. Every now and then, I will see a team that I think the Ravens should manage rather well. Nevertheless, I do not take that for granted anymore.

Re: shut up guys..

This board is mostly old farts or people who write like old farts. Use complete sentences, and do your best to spell and punctuate correctly. Make your English teachers proud.

Love the enthusiasm, no doubt.

Compared to other languages that are actually logical, English is a bottom-dweller. Just sayin'

this is the internet... spelling is overrated... and if I find out any of you are/used to be english teachers.... I will probably torture you for as long as they allow me to be on this board... why can't everything be numbers?!

This board prides itself as being the premier board for the more discriminating Ravens fan.

Speaking in text speak, poor grammar, bad spelling does not fit that mold.

If that makes us quasi-English teachers, so be it and with pride.

We're not going to compromise standards. That's the stuff of the Sun Boards.

rn123,

Please don't be late for your english class tomorrow. And while you're there please pay attention. And oh yeah, the caps lock button on your keyboard should be used sparingly.

Other than that, I can buy into the notion that this may be the best all arouind ravens team in the history of the franchise, but I think the jury is still out on that.
